Chapter 46 is out. Mostly setup for Yor’s awesome asskicking. Hope she gets to spend her last day on the cruise with Loid and Anya.

I'm really interested to see how this experience will affect Yor's role as a mother and wife coming forward protecting her. But loving this arc so far and there's lots of fun hijinks possible on a cruise ship.

Old man is a hardcore motherfucker.

Time to see how Yor’s gonna kill on this job.

I wonder if that old guy is the one who trained Yor to the art?

You wait for two weeks, get a good chapter, and then have to wait for a month more...

Why does this series keep doing this?

Yor was so cool in this chapter.

I also liked that scene of the assassins killing that psycho.

This chapter was surprisingly brutal, quite a contrast to the Anya part.

There's no way to assassinate dozens or even hundreds of people without drawing attention to yourself.

[up] Considering her sense of taste I would assume she has somehow mistaken the blood of some mythical creature for a warm bowl of borscht.

Loid fussing over getting the keychain for Anya was hilarious. Anya even thought of backing down.

Yor has to be enhanced superhuman right?

From what we have seen, Twilight and Nightfall seem to be represented as peak human, and still absolutely pale in front of her. Even her boss, while deadly, doesn't show that level of insane strength, just good old martial art skills, so it is not an assassin thing.

Ah yes, the good ol’ "We’re assassins, not monsters" defense.

I mean, it's just common sense - if you go around causing massacres, you're not only drawing a lot of attention to yourself, but also making a lot of people want to see you dead.

And the last thing somebody who works as an assassin need is a long list of enemies.

In the criminal underworld there has to be some kind of honor code.

Cause if you can't trust anyone to some degree then how the Hell would you get any business done?

Plus a lot of the people on board are VIPs who could be potential clients. Plus I’m more likely to trust the skills of someone who can pinpoint a target than someone who harms people willy-nilly.

Anya's Imagine Spot though. [lol] The hitman trying to "frog" Yor, Loid abandoning the family because Yor dislikes frogs... Was that meant to be some sort of pun?

He said "flog" and she misheard it as frog.

Its a more detailed pun in Japanese

I wouldn't call it detailed. Anya just heard the word kusarigama for the first time and assumed it meant frog-and-chain instead of sickle-and-chain.

To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, if you want to be big in the underworld you need a reputation for honesty.

While being moral is out of the question in that sort of business, you do still need to be professional. Like many people without actual morals, they still have standards — something also taken from Pratchett.
